The Advantages of Taking CBD Edibles

March 7, 2019

There are many ways to take CBD nowadays, so many in fact that you might find yourself spoiled for choice. While CBD oils are the original method of consumption and will remain popular for the foreseeable future, edibles are becoming enormously popular. But why?

Since sublingual oils and tinctures are the standard product most companies sell, it might be hard to see why so many consumers are turning to edibles. It turns out, though, that there may be some key advantages that edibles have over other CBD products, and that’s what we will be taking a look at today.

Is there a reason you should be choosing CBD edibles instead? First, let’s delve into what CBD edibles actually are…

What are CBD Edibles?

Very simply put, an ‘edible’ is a consumable product containing an extract of the cannabis plant (this can be either hemp or marijuana). Traditionally edibles have included treats like pot brownies, cookies, ‘space cakes,’ and so on. Since CBD products also come from the cannabis plant (mostly hemp plants), the terminology simply bled over and now, tasty CBD-infused treats are also referred to as ‘edibles.’

The obvious difference is that marijuana edibles contain THC, which is the psychoactive component of cannabis. However, CBD treats like these CBD Gummy Bears only contain CBD and other hemp-based cannabinoids. In other words, they will not get you high.

Essentially, a CBD edible is anything that you eat which contains CBD. You can even make these yourself by using oils or CBD isolate and cooking it up into a recipe of your choice. However, this can make dosing CBD accurately quite difficult.

Instead, you can choose to purchase a ready-made edible. These usually come in the form of chocolates or gummies, such as CBD-infused gummy bears.

What Can CBD Edibles Help With?

Just like any other CBD product, edibles could help to support overall balance in your life. CBD has a unique interaction with our endocannabinoid system (ECS), a system that is intricately tied into many internal processes.

The ECS maintains balance in the body, supporting overall homeostasis. Through its stimulation of the ECS, CBD could have the ability to help us achieve the natural balance we’ve always been looking for.

However, the way we take CBD matters when it comes to tackling certain challenges. This is because it is broken down differently when we use different consumption methods.

Oils, for example, allow much of the CBD to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream via the capillaries, and then what isn’t absorbed in the mouth is absorbed later in the intestines when we swallow the oil. Vaping, on the other hand, takes the CBD straight into the lungs.

CBD edibles and capsules work in a very similar way. They are broken down in the digestive system, meaning that it takes us longer to break down the CBD. This, unfortunately, means that it will take longer for the CBD to kick in – up to an hour or two, in fact. That being said, the CBD is released more slowly, so it can actually last longer.

Because of this long-lasting nature, the slow release of CBD can keep the components available for use for longer. Plus, by micro-dosing your edibles, you can make sure the CBD is released regularly throughout the day. Micro-dosing means eating a small amount at regular intervals during your day.

Basically, CBD edibles could be a great option for a wide range of individuals, as their slow but long-lasting nature can help to ensure the presence of the compounds in the body for many hours at a time.

Should I Be Taking CBD Edibles or Another Form of CBD?

If you are thinking about taking CBD edibles, then here are some more advantages they may have over other forms of CBD.

First of all, edibles are very discrete; although CBD use is becoming more and more common, some people are still worried about the prying eyes of their co-workers. This is especially an issue if you plan to micro-dose, which would require taking several small doses in public throughout the day.

If you take a tub of gummy bears out of your bag, nobody is going to bat an eye! Everybody will just think you have a craving for gummy bears, not that you’re taking CBD supplements. This makes CBD edibles one of the most discrete ways to take CBD.

Similarly, edibles are extremely easy to use. All you need to do is chew them and swallow, just how you would eat any other sweet. In fact, probably the most difficult thing about taking CBD edibles is not eating the whole jar all at once! Realistically, they taste so good that it can be difficult to stop.

Another great thing about CBD edibles is that they are pre-dosed; rather than worrying about whether you have got the right amount of oil in the dropper, you can simply eat one whole gummy and be confident about the amount of CBD that’s contained within it. If you want a lower dose, simply cut the gummy in half to get half the dose – it really could not be easier to get the perfect dose.

Finally, and perhaps the most obvious advantage, is the fact that edibles taste amazing. CBD gummies come in a variety of delicious flavors and fruity sensations – in fact, the primary reason gummies are so popular is probably because of how delicious they are. Most people dislike the taste of CBD oils, and so it could be a good idea to get your hands on a much tastier option instead.

CBD edibles are a great option for CBD consumers wanting to avoid the taste of CBD oil; their fruity and delicious taste is perfect for people of all ages. What’s more, they’re discrete, easy to dose, and perfect for taking on the go.
